# PlatformIO + BL602 Bouffalo Arduino Core Test

Description

Uses

A custom extension of the PlatformIO SiFive Platform (https://github.com/maxgerhardt/platform-sifive) for
- the new pinecone board definition
- support for flashing via b60x-flash
the Bouffalo Arduino core in the version https://github.com/maxgerhardt/ArduinoCore-bouffalo
- added PlatformIO builder script
- added package.json
the BL_IOT_SDK (a dependency of the Arduino core)
- repackaged at https://github.com/maxgerhardt/pio-bl-iot-sdk-arduino
the BL60X flash tool
- repackaged at https://github.com/maxgerhardt/pio-bl60x-flash

Import Project

Prerequisites: Have PlatformIO installed in VSCode.

Import project as normal via cloning this repository and "Open Project" via PIO Home

Use the project environment switcher to switch the newly imported project's "env:pinecone_bl602" environment.

Use the project tasks "Build", "Upload" and "Upload and Monitor" as normal.

The standard platformio.ini options apply, e.g. upload_port = COM3, build_flags, etc.

No special extra options are needed to build or upload this project -- the upload serial port is even detected automatically.

Uploading

The upload happens via a serial connection and an on-board USB-UART chip on many development boards. It may be necessary to put the board into UART download / bootloader mode.

For the Pine64 board e.g., the GPIO8 pin (determines whether to start bootloader mode on powerup or not) is available on header J3 and must be connected to 3.3V (position 1-2), then a reset must be issued via the reset button.

Other boards like the DT-BL10 have the "D8" (=GPIO8) pin directly on a button on the board, akin to the "FLASH" and "RST" button on ESP8266 and ESP32 boards. The reset-into-bootloader-mode prodedure is the same: Hold D8, press RST once (while D8 is being held), release D8.
